Abstract: A knuckle 1 has a through hole 3 provided in a fitting hole 4 thereof. A cutting tool 9, which has a diameter being larger than that of the through hole 3 and also has a cutting part having a hemispherical leading end portion, is caused to go into the through hole 3 at an angle at which the tool 9 does not touch the remaining part of the knuckle 1. Then, a burr formed at a fitting-hole-side open end portion 7 of the through hole 3 is removed by rotating the cutting tool 9 while the leading end portion thereof is made to obliquely abut against the open end portion 7 of the through hole 3.

Abstract: Provided are a gasket member for a substrate-holding container which is little liable to contamination of the substrate materials contained with organic matters due to the low content of organic matters to be emitted as a gas still without decreasing the operability in opening and closing of the covering as well as a substrate-holding container by using the same. The gasket member for a substrate-holding container provided is formed from a thermoplastic polyester-based elastomer resin containing absolutely no softening agent and having a surface hardness not exceeding 80A by the hardness testing method specified in JIS K6301, of which the amount of gas emission as determined under heating conditions for 60 minutes at 80° C. does not exceed 10 ppm based on the weight of the material. Disclosure is given of a polyester-based block copolymer suitable as a molding material of the said gasket member.

Abstract: An image forming device includes an image forming section and an image reader section disposed above the image forming section. A main casing that houses the image forming section is formed with a sheet discharge opening formed in either its front or rear surface. A sheet discharge tray is provided to the outside of the main casing at a position under the discharge opening. The sheet discharge tray holds sheets discharged through the discharge opening.

Abstract: An X-ray CT scanner having an X-ray tube for radiating X-rays to a subject, an X-ray detector for detecting X-rays that have penetrated the subject, a circular plate-like rotary member with an opening for insertion of a subject and having the X-ray tube and the X-ray detector mounted thereon at opposing positions with respect to the opening, a support for rotatably supporting the rotary member, and a rotary drive for rotating the rotary member around the subject. The X-ray and the X-ray detector are mounted on a side surface of the rotary member, the side surface being a unit mounting surface for mounting a control unit relating to at least one of generation and detection of the X-rays.

Abstract: To a supporting frame having an opening portion used to insert a table for mounting thereon an object under examination along a horizontal direction, a rotary member rotated around the opening portion is mounted; and a medical X-ray apparatus is provided with a first supporting member supported by the rotation member, for supporting an X-ray tube apparatus which irradiates an X-ray to an object under examination; a second supporting member for supporting a detection apparatus for detecting a transmission X-ray of the object under examination, the second supporting member being supported by the rotary member and being arranged opposite to the X-ray tube apparatus; a rotation control apparatus for controlling a rotation of the rotary member; a control apparatus for setting an irradiation angle of said X-ray with respect to a body axial direction of the object under examination to an arbitrary irradiation angle, and also for arranging the detection apparatus opposite to the X-ray tube apparatus in correspondence

Abstract: The rotary member carrying the X-ray radiation unfit and the X-ray detection unit and rotated around a subject is used as the rotor. The rotor is provided with a rotor core and a plurality of conductors connected to the core. The stator has at least one set of stator core and stator winding, the at least one set of stator core and stator winding being adapted to clamp the rotor and arranged at opposing positions. A three-phase AC current is supplied to the stator winding to generate a rotating magnetic field to rotate the rotor and thereby rotate the rotary member at high speed. Because the scan time can be reduced, the X-ray CT scanner can scan such moving organs as heart.
